My Life is a 1993 American drama film written, directed and co-produced by Bruce Joel Rubin, starring Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman.

Bob has shunned his Ukrainian-born parents due to their customs and traditions, leading him to move far from his family in Detroit and change his last name to Jones.

Bob begins to make home movies, so his son can know who his father was, showing him how to cook spaghetti, how to drive, etc.

At his wife's urging, they fly to his hometown Detroit to attend his brother Paul's traditional Ukrainian wedding.

Bob teaches his son by camera how to shave, play basketball, and start a car by jumper cable.

Also confronting a childhood fear, Bob finally rides a formidable roller coaster (filmed on Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain).

During the ride, a young companion urges him to let go of the railing as the descent begins, but Bob firmly holds on.

Bob finally comes to terms with his life as he dies peacefully, surrounded by the loving support of his family.

A year later, Brian and Gail watch Bob on video, as he reads Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham to him.
